The Realtek device is the one used for your wired network.

The Atheros device is not in the tables for the latest version of any
wireless driver. Perhaps it will work if you do the following:

su -
modprobe -v ath9k
echo "168c 0037" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ath9k/new_id
exit

The above will work if the driver handles the device, but it is not yet in
the tables. Perhaps the Atheros developers will know the status of that
device.

When replying to E-mail in this list, and most other technical mailing
lists, please do not top post. Always put your answer below the quoted
material as I did here.

Sorry for top posting, bad habbit
No luck with the suggestion and I tried a reboot for luck with no success.
